Murphy’s remarks about refusing to change diapers did not sit well with some fans. In the comment section on People, one reader named Tati wrote: “I’m all for parents breaking up duties if it makes it easier for them. But I don’t get the ones who refuse to do it. There is no chore that is too disgusting. and whatever is difficult….you learn it. You don’t leave it to the other parent.”

Others agreed, saying, “Baby has two parents so I dont see why you cant change diapers.”

Luckily, last year Australian comedian Adam Hills started a trending hashtag on Twitter to combat this. After posting a photo of himself changing his child's dirty nappy and using the hashtag #Smelfie, he encouraged fellow fathers to do the same.
